…outbreak began, Venture Beat reported, “Waymo, Uber, GM’s Cruise, Aurora, Argo AI and Pony.ai are among the companies that have suspended driverless vehicle programs in the hopes of limiting contact between drivers and riders” (“Coronavirus fears halt autonomous vehicle testing”). In theory, the significantly lighter traffic during the shutdown seems to offer an opportunity to ramp up road testing, but in practice, the 6-feet-apart social-distancing requirements make it difficult to run tests even with the smallest possible team—two people. “Near-empty roads create an abnormal condition,” notes Sovani. “This is not ideal for testing, because you don’t want to train an…

…eCommerce giant took part in a funding round for Aurora Innovation, an autonomous tech startup helmed by the former head of Google’s self-driving car project. Amazon has also invested in electric vehicle startup Rivian. As Brad Templeton mentions, the creation of a robotic delivery fleet by Amazon would be a blow to large shippers like FedEx and UPS. Amazon has become a huge shipper, and electric robotic delivery vehicles would be highly cost-effective and efficient. While Amazon has pushed the world into pretending everything has free shipping, the reality, of course, is that the cost of shipping does matter. Amazon’s…

…than die casting or stamping,” Myerberg adds. For example, Aurora Lab’s RMP1 machine, which launches soon for beta customers, could have a production rate of 30 kilos per hour. The company’s proposed Alpha 1 printer is supposed to be capable of printing 1,000 kg per day. Myerberg also expects an evolution in materials. “Customers want to print a lot of stainless steel, and other materials are coming along too,” he says. All of these improvements will drive down the cost of part production and increase adoption. “The cost to produce a part will fall to the point where I think…

Aurora Flight Sciences has been developing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for more than three decades. Aurora teamed with Stratasys to develop a notably complex 3D printed jet-powered UAV. Aurora Flight Sciences in Manassas, VA, has been developing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for both the civil and military markets for many years. However, with advancing customer needs and requirements, its research and development center is using Stratasys 3D printing technology more frequently for production parts and tooling to help bring new innovations to unmanned flight. Recently, engineers at Aurora and Stratasys embarked on an ambitious project: to build a jet-powered, thrust…

…with respected aerospace partners at Embraer, Bell Helicopter, Pipistrel, Aurora Flight Sciences and Mooney Aviation to construct the vehicles. Modern cars may be dangerous, but a dead battery or a broken rotor blade in a flying taxi would cause a heavy vehicle to fall onto a densely populated area. And we still don’t know whether such drones could be protected from hackers, terrorists, or other criminals, or how air traffic control systems might guide people safely. Drones will still have a transformative impact on how future populations live, do business, and interact. Small UAVs have already proven their potential across…

…Uber in accelerating the eVTOL initiative” John Langford, CEO, Aurora Uber is also working with NASA, the FAA, and the National Air Traffic Control Association to work on a different approach to air traffic control. Flying Cars Building out the infrastructure is just one part of the puzzle. The other roadblock is perfecting an all-electric VTOL plane that is quiet enough that it could be used to bring people from the cities to the suburbs, or even across cities, in a short amount of time. Uber, for now, has decided not to build its own aircraft, but partner with other…
